Course
abbreviation: DipEng(IndMgt)
The course is designed to meet the needs of people employed in technical,
supervisory or management positions or people aspiring to such positions. The
main aim of the course is to provide people employed in industry with the
opportunity to obtain education and training in supervision and management
supplemented, if desired, by the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in
basic technical engineering topics.
The
Diploma of Engineering (Industrial Management) is a two-year equivalent
full-time course offered by off-campus distributed learning (distance
education) that provides training and education in industrial supervision and
basic business and management procedures. It also offers the option of studies
in basic engineering units. The course provides supervision and management
training for people working in industry in such positions as technical
officers, engineering assistants, engineering and industrial supervisors. These
people often work in a supporting role to professional engineers and other
professionals, but can also work independently in smaller organisations which
do not employ professional engineers. In other organisations employing
professional engineers, they may also work independently on reaching senior
positions.
The course gives particular attention to the needs of small and medium-sized
industrial businesses. It is designed for part-time study, causing minimum
interference to employment by use of off-campus study with weekend schools.
Well-motivated students can reasonably undertake four units each year, thus
permitting completion of the course by four years of off-campus study. The
course is, however, designed to allow maximum flexibility for each student to
proceed through the course at a rate appropriate to his or her particular
circumstances.

certificate course at a Victorian TAFE college or similar institution.
(d) Satisfaction of other categories of Monash's minimum tertiary entrance
requirements.

An outline of the course structure and content of the diploma is set out in the
